John&John Posted February 21, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2011 John Heald recently mentioned that Carnival is still looking for a fruit punch that won't stain the carpets. I wonder if they ever considered a fruit punch of a different color than red? It's just food coloring anyway! How about just a tiny bit of coloring or just a touch of grenadine? Just wondering....Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMKahlan Posted February 21, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2011 That would be nice. After all, I need something to mix with my rum :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If they can make CLEAR fruit-flavored (no stain) fever medicine for my kids, then they should be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pour-Tour-Snore Posted February 21, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2011 What.....no fruit punch???? When did this happen? Oh no how am I suppose to mix my drinks? I might have to change what I carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joie Posted February 21, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I loved the punch....the lemonade is way too sour. But I think alot of people were using it for mixing drinks and it cut down on the bar $$$. i think they were using the kids as an excuse maybe....just a little.

golfadj Posted February 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 21, 2011 They claimed they discontinued it due to staining but wonder why they cannot use a clear color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconIsGood Posted February 21, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I vote for replacing the fruit punch on tap, with beer on tap.. Beer wont stain the carpets ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankerbabe Posted February 21, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2011 We just bring the Crystal Lite individual-serve packets of fruit punch. It's good, and REALLY good with rum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted February 21, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Carnivals first excuse for discontinuing the fruit punch was that they were changing vendors for it. Then after quite a long period of time,,and no fruit punch,,,they said it was because too many kids spilled it on their spotless carpet, and it was difficult to clean. I LOVED the fruit punch, and agree that the lemonade is too sour, and the ice tea just taste like crap. BRING BACK FRUIT PUNCH! :mad: "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... we always bring those Crystal Light To-Go packets for our mixers. They travel well, mix well with alcohol, and no calories! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted February 21, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 21, 2011 We stock up on OJ on Lido as a mix. Use coffee pot from room service. Explained to me it was a staining problem with carpet and tile grout so did away with punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerboy88 Posted February 21, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I did not know they did away with the fruit punch. I used to love that stuff. If they have done away with it, what do they have to offer now? Lemonade, water, tea,...is the Guava punch the same as "fruit punch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjl1960 Posted February 21, 2011 #15 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Don't let them kid you, they knew everyone was using the punch as a mixer, and if they discontinued it, people would use the bar to get their fruity drinks. It is all about money - the fruit punch will never reappear on a Carnival ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted February 21, 2011 #16 Share Posted February 21, 2011 They claimed they discontinued it due to staining but wonder why they cannot use a clear color. And your kids would drink clear fruit punch? :rolleyes: Or you or your spouse would pour perfectly good clear rum into clear fruit punch and walk around with a drink that looks and tastes like spiked Sprite?:eek: Just look at how well clear Coke went over:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb76 Posted February 21, 2011 #17 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I too miss the fruit punch. I like lemonade but it's so hit or miss if the glass will be good. For some reason they don't seem to get a good mix. I dont drink tea. So I drink a lot of pop that I carry on and water. I have never smuggled but I do love me a vodka lemonade and I'm sure others do as well. So sure ppl are mixing w/ this as well. Guava punch is only out in the mornings. It's very tasty! Nothing like fruit punch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone_Kroozin Posted February 21, 2011 #18 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Very interesting...not sure if anyone else who has taken the Beyond the Fun Tour has noticed, but Fruit Punch is served in the juice machines in crew areas. BTW-It's also in every Funship Special served on Embarkation Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcuchio24 Posted February 21, 2011 #23 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So no one likes the Passion/Guava juice they have instead of the Punch? I think it's just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES143 Posted February 21, 2011 #24 Share Posted February 21, 2011 so no one likes the passion/guava juice they have instead of the punch? I think it's just as good. they only serve that guava juice during breakfast though. I guess you would have to stock up during breakfast. Its good but not as good as the fruit punch;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
